Oh ok. Didn’t know the previous weapons are for decorations
The weapons us have been giving Ukraine has been mostly advanced missile defence systems and Javelin anti tank missiles. This would be the first time they would be giving Ukraine Drones. Besides the drone ain't an outdated drone for your information, any drone capable of carrying Hellfire missiles are no joke

US, UK has made a point to Russians, this is the time to everyone to stop this mindless war, US should send messages to Kremlin that they are stopping weapons export to Ukraine for a ceasefire and to give room for negotiations,even if Russians disagree, US should stand by their words, the Russians would come around later, this gives a good excuse to the Russians to end the war without damaging their ego, Ego is Russians problem now, US should give them the ego to leave and stop inflaming the situation

No time to think about this... Please send it as soon as possible! Ukraine needs every survival and life saving support! A lot of children are dead already. That's enough to send any weapon for their defence. Any defence weapon is not supposed to be delayed. The addage say, survival first, every other thing comes later.

Pro-Russian fighters reportedly take journalists to watch them fire howitzers at Ukrainian base

ro-Russian fighters of the Luhansk People's Republic loaded up a battery of howitzers and reportedly fire missiles at a Ukrainian base.

The People's Militia of the so-called LPR says it took journalists to the front line outside the village of Borovsky to film the strike against Ukrainian resistance fighters.

The pro-Russia unit claimed they destroyed an entire fortified area consisting of concentrated manpower and military equipment.

The militia said they used mortars and tank fire to destroy the Ukrainian base after first giving the enemy the option to withdraw or surrender.

One LPR fighter told reporters: "The situation has changed a lot. The enemy is not so active anymore. Now, our artillery and tank units are working very well together."

Russian troops invaded Ukraine on February 24 in what the Kremlin is still calling a "special military operation." June 1 marks the 98th day of the campaign.

From February 24 to June 1, the total combat losses of Russian troops stand at around 30,700 personnel, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Ukrainian military also claims that Russia has lost 1,361 tanks, 3,343 armored fighting vehicles, 659 artillery systems, 207 multiple launch rocket systems, 94 anti-aircraft systems, 208 warplanes, 175 helicopters, 2,290 motor vehicles and fuel tankers, 13 vessels, 519 unmanned aerial vehicles, 49 units of special equipment, and 120 cruise missiles.

In recent news, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called Russian strikes on a nitric acid tank in the besieged eastern city of Sievierodonetsk "madness."

Residents of Sievierodonetsk have been warned to remain in bomb shelters and to prepare masks to protect themselves against toxic fumes.

Analysts say up to 70 percent of the embattled city is now controlled by Russian forces, with almost all critical infrastructure and housing destroyed.

Despite setbacks in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian troops have made advances in Kherson in the south and around Kharkiv in the northeast.

President Joe Biden said he will send Kyiv more advanced U.S. rocket systems that will help to strike enemy forces from a longer distance.

The armaments include the M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS), according to White House sources, which can launch multiple missiles precision-guided to strike as far away as 45 miles, which is much further than Ukraine's current panoply. The system is believed to be more accurate than Russian equivalents.

Kremlin sources say that NATO and the U.S. are thereby adding fuel to the fire in the conflict in Ukraine.

Meanwhile, European Union leaders reached an agreement to ban 90 percent of oil imports from Russia, but they remain undecided on natural gas imports.

When we tell you women you focus on cooking and reality TV you say we are sexist. smiley Afghans are the undisputed world champions of war. They beat the Brits, the Russinas and the Yanks. Nobody has subdued them in history.

All these weapons will only prolong the war & cause more Death, Carnage & Mistrust.
Same way Russia will unleash more firepower & destroy the same super weapons from US as he has done with others previously supplied by NATO & it allies.

We want peace not way... Only the dead have seen the end of wars.

Long live mother Russia.
God bless & protect Vladimir Putin.

This war will never end as long as the US is cashing out big time from weapons sales to Ukraine

The administration has already set aside money from the recently passed $40 billion Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative to fund both the sale and subsequent training for the drones, the US official and one of the sources said.

They were not as advanced as these ones now being proposed. The write up says it has the capability of flying 30hrs at once and has capacity to carry HELLFIRE MISSILES to the frontline, these kinds of weapons have never been delivered since the invasion.

Understand this, US is not giving Ukraine anything for free. There is a long time payment clause to those packages.
